The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Insider Journal Club meeting in September is, "Choosing Or Losing In Behavioral Health: A Study Of Patient Experiences Selecting Telehealth
Versus In-person Care."
The authors examined the level of choice patients have in choosing virtual or in-person visits for behavioral health care services.
The authors conducted a mixed-methods study that paired a nationally representative survey of 2,701 adults (including 571 who used behavioral health services) and semi-structured interviews with twenty-six people with depression or bipolar disorder. They found trade-offs in policies to preserve patient
choice and approaches clinicians can take to identify and accommodate patient preferences.
On September 26, please join author Jessica L. Sousa of the RAND Corporation for a detailed discussion of the paper’s data, methods, and policy conclusions. Health Affairs Senior Editor Kathleen Haddad will host.
Date: Tuesday, September 26, 2023
Time: 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Eastern

In 2016, in partnership with the Physicians Foundation, Health Affairs launched an article series on the "Practice of
Medicine," focusing on important health policy issues affecting physicians. The effort has produced a comprehensive collection of policy research in the field.
A recurring topic in the Practice of Medicine series, and in health policy circles generally, is the question of how integration, consolidation, and ownership changes of physician practices are affecting the nation’s health care system, the people who work in it, and the patients it serves.
Researchers and policy makers have begun to look at what the data tell us, from the impact of private equity on the workforce to what hospital-physician integration means for patient outcomes and physician compensation.
On Wednesday, September 27, please join Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil for an online forum, "How The Ownership and Structure of Health Care Entities Affect Clinicians & Patients," focusing on recent work featured in the Practice of Medicine series and broader issues confronting medical professionals.
Presenters will include:
- Erin Fuse Brown, Catherine C. Henson Professor of Law, and Director, Center for Law, Health & Society, Georgia State University Law
- Joseph Dov Bruch, Assistant Professor of Public Health Sciences, University of Chicago, on "Workforce Composition In Private Equity-Acquired Versus Non-Private Equity-Acquired Physician Practices" (January 2023)
- Brady Post, Assistant Professor, Department of Health Sciences, Northeastern University, on "Hospital-Physician Integration is Associated with Greater Use of Cardiac Catheterization and Angioplasty" (May 2023)
- Gary Price, President and CEO, Physicians Foundation
- Christopher Whaley, Associate Professor of Health Services, Policy, and Practice, Brown University School of Public
Health, on "Physician Compensation in Physician-Owned and Hospital-Owned Practices" (December 2021)
- Others TBA
Date: Wednesday, September 27, 2023
Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Eastern
Health Affairs thanks the Physicians Foundation for its support of the Practice of Medicine series and this event.
